power transistor suitable for a variety of RF power
amplifier applications. Using state of the art wafer
fabrication processes, these high performance
transistors provide high gain, efficiency, bandwidth,
and ruggedness over a wide bandwidth for today’s
demanding application needs. High breakdown
voltages allow for reliable and stable operation under
more extreme mismatch load conditions compared
with older semiconductor technologies.

Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may cause permanent damage.
For CW operation, Input Power limit is +1.5 dB over nominal drive required to achieve P
OUT
= 35 W.
Channel temperature directly affects a device's MTTF. Channel temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
For saturated performance it is recommended that the sum of (3*V
DD
+ abs(V

)) <175 V.
Pulsed operation is specified for a 300 µs Pulse, 20% Duty.

Correct Device Sequencing
Turning the device ON
1. Set V
GS
to the pinch-off (V
P
), typically -5 V.
2. Turn on V
DS
to nominal voltage:
[(300 µs, 20%) = 50 V; (2.5 GHz, CW) = 28 V].
3. Increase V
GS
until the I
DS
current is reached.
4. Apply RF power to desired level.
Turning the device OFF
1. Turn the RF power off.
2. Decrease V
GS
down to V
P.
3. Decrease V
DS
down to 0 V.
4. Turn off V
